The Young and the Restless: Christel Khalil Shares a Look at Her Return to Genoa City
Lily has been absent from Genoa City since portrayer Christel Khalil took her maternity leave from Young and Restless to give birth to her third child. The actress was last seen on screen on January 7 when Lily left town to visit her daughter, Mattie. Khalil first announced that she was back on set on February 6 when she posted a selfie she snapped backstage with Billy Flynn (Cane), but she has followed that up by posting a carousel of photos and videos on Instagram captioned: “First week back – ☑️”
The photos include snaps taken backstage at Y&R and with some of her co-stars, as well as personal photos from home. One video shows her holding up her hand at husband Sam Restragno in an “L” shape playfully calling him a loser, and another captures Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) on set getting her makeup touched up while shooting a scene.
Browse through this gallery for a peek inside Khalil’s first week back at Y&R and look for Lily to be back on screen in the not-to0-distant future!
